Fig Olive Newport Beach

Waited minutes for our martinis. Husband went to bar and asked for manager. Finally got them and they comped them. Manager came to our table to apologize and said they were out of glasses. Also the martini blue cheese olives were in oil and that is never good in a drink. Salads were so salty could barely eat them. Not a great experience.

So disappointing. This used to be one of my favorites in Newport. They were very slow to open after Covid and tried to blame it on restrictions of the Irvine Co. (Their property management) but that's impossible because every other restaurant in town was open. And this was in April As of October, they are still serving a "limited menu" again blaming Covid. They don't offer olive oil and bread anymore? They have changed their menu drastically away from their Southern French roots and it's just not good anymore. Our dinner (pork loin) was so over spiced, my daughter couldn't even eat it. Service was nice but so slow. We had to ask for everything. I see their melrose location has closed permanently. I'm sure this is an internal Fig and Olive issue and has nothing to do with Covid. At this rate, with so many amazing restaurants nearby, I see no reason to go back Oh, and we were there for a birthday. Zero acknowledgement to that either.

Wonderful menu… great open area. The service was top notch. We enjoyed a delicious brunch

Great service and the food presentation was on point sat inside because it seemed on the noisy side outside and I wanted a nice relaxing dinner

Good to keep social distancing , both sides table were vacant. But the our table was not stable.
